Leslie Salter Law Office

Here at Salter Law we assist clients throughout the criminal process, including pre-trial, motions, trial and if necessary, post-conviction work.  It may be that your case needs a motion to dismiss or suppress, or that you just need some help getting the best deal possible.   We will help you analyze your case, identify its strengths and weaknesses and work with you to come up with a defense strategy appropriate not only to the case, but for your life.  

Criminal law is a complex body of state and federal laws.  The majority of crimes are state crimes.  The average person does not have an understanding of criminal law or the criminal justice process, despite what you see on television!  

Juvenile Law is a complex body of law that can be daunting for any child and his or her guardian.  With nearly ten years of experience in this field there are none better at navagating all of the pit falls of being charged as a juvenile offender, and coordinating services with support systems put in place to help your family.  We are well known in the juvenile courts here in Salem and also in Lynn.  In addition, we maintain relationships with many of the people who would be investigating DCF complaints as well as the district attorneys who would be handling your child's case.  We remain committed to helping all youths become happy, healthy and successful adults!

When your future and even your freedom is in jeopardy, I will fight to protect you and your rights.  I pride herself in pursuing every angle and every aspect of your case to ensure the best possible result.  Often, this can lead to resolution before the need for a trial.  I practice exclusively in criminal law and this allows me to concentrate on identifying issues and any defenses you may have.  My experience allows me to recognize when motions may be available that other attorneys may not recognize.  In addition, my network of legal associates allows me to conference your case with many professionals from different backgrounds to ensure your case gets the best possible review and attention.  In addition to great legal services, I recognize that you will be dealing with some of the most stressful things you will ever experience.  I will always treat you with courtesy, compassion and dignity.  My firm offers a variety of fees that are up front so there are no surprises.  There are affordable payment plan options to make a payment plan that works for you.  While every courthouse is different, you can be sure that I have represented clients throughout Essex County.

If you find yourself on the losing end of a case, Salter Law can help.  Having handled dozens of appeals, we are very familiar with the process and the ins and outs of appeallate practice.  Let us help you continue your fight!
